13.3. Commands for ISFS and FLASHFS process
13.3.1. ISFS and FLASHFS overview
The Router requiring storage of configuration data should make use of the ISFS file system. The FLASHFS file system
provides permanent storage of files and is not normally used other than at start of day or when re-writing the FLASH. In
addition to configuration files, FLASHFS stores the firmware image, which is loaded after system restart.
After system restart and during system initialisation, FLASHFS files are copied into ISFS so that they are accessible by
application processes. Typically, applications use the ISFS files to store their configuration data. Changes made to the
configuration can be written back into ISFS, and subsequently FLASHFS, with the ‘
config save
’ command. During a
FLASHFS update, all configuration files in ISFS are written back to FLASH irrespective of whether they have changed or
not.
Normally the firmware image is not rewritten. The FLASHFS configuration files can be considered the ‘master’ copies,
and the ISFS files the run time copies. If the ISFS copies are written back to the FLASHFS, the current settings will be
preserved. It is possible to read files from FLASHFS directly though this use is deprecated.
13.3.2. isfs cat | flashfs cat
Syntax:
isfs cat <file>
flashfs cat <file>
Description:
The
cat
command allows a console user to view the contents of the specified file. Only printable characters are
displayed, non-printable characters are represented by a ‘
.
’ character. Printable characters include all standard printable
characters together with carriage return, line feed, and tab.
No output formatting is performed, and no scroll lock function implemented.
Example:
cat ipaddresses
13.3.3. isfs ls | flashfs ls
Syntax:
isfs ls
flashfs ls [-l]
Description:
The
ls
command allows a console user to list the files present in the filesystem.
The FLASHFS ‘

’ option displays more detailed information (logical address within FLASH and linked list
information).
